First impressions were how strikingly beautiful the watch is. My wife was even surprised at how much she likes it. Very elegant looking with the black dial surrounded by all the stainless steel and white gold bezel insert.
I love the raised bezel numbers. I love the large markers and sword hands with enough Super Luminova to see my way out of the house after an earthquake (which all seem to be before dawn). Now I know why they used this design for the America's Cup watch. If a man/woman goes overboard, the person will be easily spotted by rescue craft. I love it. The band is a nice Seamaster bracelet. I had my dealer take out one full link prior to shipping. It was too much. I'm going to put it back in and pull a 1/2 link. I like the black inside the date window with the white date. I like the uncluttered dial. Yes, I said uncluttered. All the Chronometer/Depth... stuff in on the back case. On the front is the reason why I picked this particular watch. The America's Cup logo. The red tip of the second hand is more orange than red. I like it.
My package included:
White outer box with blue America's Cup & logo on the front.
Blue leather box with typical tan Seamaster box interior. Blue box has America's Cup logo and Seamaster medallion on top.
Omega Seamaster America's Cup Certificate which explains the Limited Edition in 10 different languages. On the back is: Your watch is unique and bears number (in 10 lanquages): 1654/9999 and is signed Stephen Urquhart - President
My duly filled out International Warranty card. Serial Number and Dealer covered for privacy.
Two Operating Instructions booklets. One for setting the time and date in 10 different lanquages. The other expaining functions, operations and features of the: Case, Crown, Bezel, Crystal, Dial, Helium Escape Valve, Bracelet or Rubber Strap. In 10 different lanquages.
The Chonometer Warrany explaining the Chonometer Attestation. It also displays the model number 25335000 and the serial number 6045xxxx.
The Worldwide Service Centres Network booklet.
Blue leather warranty wallet. Red and beigh hangtags (not shown).
X-33 shown, at left, for context and contrast. The X-33 was the watch actually used on board New Zealand during it's America's Cup Victory over Luna Rossa
